Abstract
A server fabric adapter (SFA) communication system is disclosed. In some embodiments, the SFA communication system comprises an SFA communicatively coupled to a plurality of controlling hosts, a plurality of endpoints, and a plurality of network ports. The SFA is configured to receive a network packet from a network port of the plurality of network ports; separate the network packet into different portions, each portion including a header or a payload; map each portion of the network packet to: (i) a controlling host of the plurality controlling hosts, the controlling host being designated as a destination controlling host, or (ii) an endpoint of the plurality of endpoints, the endpoint being designated as a destination endpoint; and forward a respective portion of the network packet to the destination controlling host or the destination endpoint.
